“The aim is honesty and integrity – to help people and give people the right advice in regards to their health.”
In the first week after the product went on sale, Nick had more than 40 enquiries from members of the public asking whether it could help them with their health issues.
Nick, who lives in Earby, said: “I’m a health expert so I can legally give advice on if the product will help people or not.”
